Ali speaking about fighting Marciano - ''Marciano would be the most trouble''

Everybody else is in their primes between 25 and 33 or so, why is that an exception for Ali? He went on to a ton of great wins afterwards that PROVE you wrong. If you want to continue to offer that opinion, that's fine but at least understand and admitt that it is just that, an OPINION of yours and nothing more.

Because everbody is different. They lead different lives.

It doesn't prove I'm wrong just because Ali won after he came back. It only shows how Great he truly was. If I'm wrong, then Ali is wrong and so are many other Writers, Boxers, Trainers, etc. that say the same thing.
Ali was not the same when he came back.

It's one thing to go by all of them since you don't have to, maybe they are all wrong, but that is why we have footage.

Watch the FIGHTS and see if there is a difference and get back to me. Then also go over the history of the sport and see what happens most of the time when a fighter has a long layoff.


Note: Sugar Ray Robinson still had some great wins after his prime but that doesn't mean he was the same fighter at his best.

lmao! I dont understand how Ali fans can seriously sit there and say "I dont think Ali would have problems with Marciano." When Ali, himself said that he would be the most trouble. The video is definate proof of that. Whats with the denial?


i just dont get it.

Here's Ali's words about the subject from the same interview where he talked about Marciano:

Marciano couldnt catch Ali AT ALL.

He would have a nightmare just trying to get close to a prime Ali.

He wouldnt be able to hit Ali's arms, body or head. Ali would tie him up when he got close like he always did.

Ali himself stated that he was scarred ****less of Sonny Liston and thought that he would have given him a lot of trouble. Well after the fight it is clear that Liston couldn't do **** to Ali, and Liston would have eaten Marciano for breakfast, so go figure.

One mans opinion isnt proof of anything.

All fighters say things that they cant backup or prove. In every fight they both say they are going to win, but only one of them is right.

Ali didnt explain why exactly Marciano would give him trouble other than he would be hard to KO, and he is very awkward.

IMO Ali would be way too fast for Marciano.

[F l i c k e r]

So what? They never fought. So how can we say anything.

If Ali himself said that he would have problems then how can you say he wont? Your not Ali, so how would you know? Ali said he would, thats what you have to go by. Its what he said.

Its ok to have love for your favorite fighter or fighters you respect. However, when you go into denial after he, himself has said something.... wow, there is a problem there.
